National Parks in Croatia
The eight National
Parks of Croatia cover 7.5% of the country or 994 sq km. Visiting all
of the Croatian National Parks gives a breathtaking array of scenery
from forested islands to craggy mountaintops, waterfalls, lakes and
sun-baked islands in the sea. They provide ideal vacation experiences
for active travelers as there seems to be nothing you can't do. Try
scuba diving, rock climbing, hiking, biking, swimming and spelunking!
Geologically speaking, many of Croatia's National Parks lie on karst.
Karst is highly porous limestone and dolomitic rock through which water
seeps to create underground streams. The terrain is marked by fissures,
caves and springs as well as polje, a basin formed when the limestone collapses.
